Great study. The face looks very... "balanced". (I used a word smart people and artists use! <:D)
The eye is very nice too! >:)

I love the way the profile and eye look like. The composition doesn't look to bad to me. It's actually kind of nice to have the profile in white and the background looking abit like colored [maybe textured?] paper.

I really liked the sketchy feel of the eye in comparison to the face. The combo gives the whole thing an almost collage-like feel. Very well done. I watched the animation--really envy your even and steady strokes!

Hmmm. . . I think this is as far as I'm taking this. I cheated and zoomed in on the small figure. <__< t's a lot easier to control the mouse when you have a bigger space to do it in. I need a wacom tablet, but, alas, I also need to eat and I don't really have an income to speak of so buying a tablet is more of a pipe dream than a goal I'm acyually working toward. Unless of course someone here just happens to not want theirs and would like to donate the tablet to me. . . I can dream, right?

By the by, can anyone tell me how to use the layers? They seem very useful. . . I just have not yet figured out how they are useful. . . Yeah, I'm slow like that. ^___^

You consider that cheating? That's just using the tools available that's all..
As for layers, I'm not sure if you had seen the 'layers' button at the bottom of the tool bar..from here once clicked you can choose what layer, add or delete layers and shift or merge them. How they would've been useful in this image: If you had drawn the profile on 'layer 1' and then did the background on 'layer 0' you could�ve erased the background inside the profile so the edges are right on with the lines without erasing the profile..that's one example.

Nice studies.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips.
